Connecting HP DV7 to TV via HDMI, how do I get the sound on TV?

Hi,

Try the following.

Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Display Devices - make a note of the hardware listed here i.e. ATI, NVidia or Intel.

Next, connect your notebook via HDMI to your Tv.  Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click once ( just to highlight the entry ) the HDMI Output that has the same name as your display adapter and then click the Set Default button - see if you now have audio.

If your HDMI cable is of good quality, you will get both picture and sound through the HDMI cable, if you're not getting the sound the first thing I'd be thinking is that my cable is of poor quality.
